The highlight of our third CAARI touring day in the Eilat area was our time with Dr. Elaine Solowey on Kibbutz Ketura. She was one of the founders of this Kibbutz in the early 1970's and her experitse in medicinal plants and trees and her experience sprouting extinct tree species with very old seeds was so impressive. Here we can see the oldest sprouted seed in the world named Methusalah a Judean date palm sprouted from seeds found at Masada between 1963-5 that date back to the first century C.E.
